About TRS Group, Inc.

TRS Group, Inc. is a carbon neutral company whose core technology - Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH) – is being delivered to the environmental remediation market and the emerging thermally enhanced oil recovery market. Since its launch in 2000, TRS has been the market leader and the premier provider of ERH services in North America for in situ soil and groundwater remediation.

The ERH technology applies electrical current below the surface via electrodes that are installed to the required depth of treatment or product recovery. As electrical current flows between these electrodes, the resistance creates heat. Targeted contaminants and water become vapors and steam that are recovered and treated at the surface. Viscous petroleum products are heated until liquefied and extracted for conversion to oil and fuel.

TRS Group is in the process of expanding its environmental remediation operations by forming international partnerships and joint ventures worldwide.

How ERH Works
Standard drilling techniques are used to install co-located recovery wells and electrodes. Electricity is connected from a utility power source to the power control unit. Electricity is applied to the electrodes and current flows between them within the treatment volume. Soil is naturally resistant to the flow of electrical current, heating the soil and groundwater. Heat causes the underground contaminants and water to evaporate, creating in situ steam and vapor. Vapors, steam and NAPL are recovered to the surface under vacuum. The multiple phases are treated at the surface using standard treatment techniques. Heat-enhanced in situ destruction provides polishing mechanisms long after ERH is complete resulting in no rebound.	Operators remotely run the system via the internet; monitoring treatment temperature, controlling power and energy application into the ground.
